Awesome Job Listings Email Notification Setup

I am not sure if I have covered this before, but if you head over to CreativeJobsCentral.com you will find a wealth of free job listings at your disposal. The website itself is a bit intimidating, as it has a bunch of paid plans that it wants you to sign up for and also, once you do click on a job listing, it asks you to switch to a paid subscription in order to get the job details and apply. To make it easier for you, I've included the email alert sign up link here: http://www.creativejobscentral.com/seeker/job-alerts/create_unpaid.php?e=

Here is the strategy I use:

1. Setup an email alert subscription for your desired state (or, you can leave this flexible and have it display all jobs, if you prefer).
2. You will get emails daily. If you find a job you like, click on the link to see if you're a good match. 
3. Now, instead of having to pay to apply for the job: Go to the actual game studio's official website and navigate to their jobs page. This website is always the source of new jobs and should always have any listings that are found on external job gathering sites such as CreativeJobsCentral. You will also probably find that the application process is handled by email the HR manager. I find this more personal, as you can add a description about yourself and show your enthusiasm for working for the studio in your brief introduction email, instead of having a stale resume entry form with no customization allowed.

I would also recommend setting up an account with glassdoor.com. Once done, you can add job alerts by going to:

• My Accounts>Job Alerts>Create Job Alert. 
• Enter your job title in the search bar and click "search" (leave the location blank so you can get the full gambit of job results). 
• Use the filters column on the left to narrow the results (I would just leave it as broad as possible, so "freshness" is set to all and "All job types" enabled.
• Click on "Create Job Alert." It will notify you that your alert has been created.
• Go back to My Accounts>Job Alerts. Now, you can click "edit" to fine tune your result (somehow mine picked my geographical city location even though I left the city blank. It looks like you can only add one city at a time, and I'm guessing it will find surrounding cities of that city also. For the best results, I would repeat the process to setup multiple template alerts and then set major game development city HUBs that are spread far away throughout the country. Ex: Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, Boston).

Happy hunting!
